Stephen Fry tops car-sharing commuter poll

November 25, 2009

Who would you like to give a lift to work to?

Well, according to car leasing firm Alphabet, most people think writer, broadcaster, actor, comedian and uber-tweeter Stephen Fry would make the ideal car companion. Fry (I'm sure he would be pleased to learn) 'easily' beat X-Factor judge and WAG Cheryl Cole and Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson in a new poll.

Alphabet asked 1,000 adults who there ideal travel buddy would be. For some reason, Yours Truly does not feature in the results.

Other popular commuting companions include:
  • David Beckham
  • Cliff Richard
  • Johnny Depp
  • Simon Cowell
  • George Clooney
  • Peter Andre (eh?)
The least popular commuting colleagues were Jonathan Ross, Tony Blair, David Cameron, Victoria Beckham and Amy Winehouse. Guru is more likely to run them over than offer them a lift.

However, the two least likely Britons to be offered a ride in a car-sharing scheme are Gordon Brown and Katie Price. Poor old GB, just when he thought it couldn't get any worse, he's left on the kerbside with she-chav Jordan while his lift disappears into the distance.
